Love is in the Water - Yellowtail Tangs Tango for Fertilization!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this award-winning snapshot captured by Alex Mustard, we witness a mesmerizing underwater spectacle as a male and female Yellowtail tang engage in an intricate dance of love. As they prepare to spawn, these vibrant creatures turn belly to belly, ensuring successful fertilization in the crystal-clear waters of Ras Umm Sid, Sharm El Sheikh. The swift movement of their bodies creates a beautiful blur effect that adds an artistic touch to this remarkable photograph. It's not just long exposure magic; it's nature at its finest! The image perfectly encapsulates the wonders of marine life found within the Red Sea. With their striking colors and graceful movements, these dusky sailfin tangs steal our hearts and remind us of the incredible diversity present beneath the waves. They belong to the acanthuridae family, commonly known as surgeonfish or unicornfish. This moment showcases more than just animal behavior; it unveils one aspect of reproduction and mating behavior among saltwater species. It serves as a reminder that even underwater worlds have their own rituals and dances when it comes to finding love. Congratulations to Alex Mustard for capturing this magical encounter between two yellowtail tangs! This extraordinary photograph truly deserves its title as winner of Mont Photo Competition 2019's Underwater World Category.
